All Bathtubs Can Be Adapted

Since 2009, Baignoire Adaptee has been offering simple, quick and effective solutions for converting bathtubs into accessible showers. Whether it is for a home, a healthcare facility or a caregiver looking after an elderly or mobility-impaired person, we make it easier to access the bathtub safely.

Our bathtub modifications are built around the tub you already have. Unlike a traditional walk-in tub that requires full plumbing replacement, our Quick Tub® system modifies what is already there, saving you time, money and weeks of disruption.

Give your aging parents or grandparents the care they deserve with a professional bathtub modification.

Why Bathtub Modifications for Seniors Make Sense

For many seniors, the bathtub is the riskiest spot in the house. A 14 to 18 inch wall, a wet and slippery surface and few places to hold on turn a simple bath into a daily hazard. Good bathtub modifications for seniors solve this at the source by lowering the step and adding support where it is needed.

Our Quick Tub® system delivers all the ease and accessibility of a walk-in shower, without the cost, mess or wait time of a full bathroom renovation.

4-Hour Install

A clean installation, completed in just 4 hours, without the mess of a full renovation.

Bathtub Renovations for Seniors vs a Quick Tub® Modification

When a bathtub becomes unsafe, many families assume a full remodel is the only answer. But bathtub renovations for seniors often mean demolition, new plumbing, weeks of disruption and a much higher bill. A modification gets you to the same goal, a safe and easy way in, in a fraction of the time.

Installation time Days to weeks About 4 hours
Demolition Usually required None
Plumbing changes Often needed Not needed
Your existing tub Removed Stays in place

Common Questions About Bathtub Modifications

What is a bathtub modification?

It is a way to make your existing tub safer and easier to use, without replacing it. With Quick Tub®, a low walk-through entry is added to your tub, so you step in instead of climbing over a high wall.

How long does installation take?

Most installations are completed in just 4 hours, with no major mess.

Do I have to replace my entire bathtub?

No. We modify your existing bathtub, which saves you thousands of dollars in renovation costs and avoids plumbing demolition.

Can I still take a bath after the modification?

Yes. With the Quick Tub® Cap or the airtight plug option, you can fill your tub for a relaxing soak whenever you like.

How do I know when it is time for bathtub modifications for seniors?

Common signs you can spot for bathtub modification for elderly include difficulty stepping over the tub wall, a recent slip or near fall, and needing help to bathe. We have written a guide on the “signs it is time to upgrade your bathroom for seniors” which can help you decide.

How is a modification different from a renovation?

A renovation replaces parts of your bathroom, which often means demolition and plumbing work. A modification keeps your tub and changes only what makes it unsafe, in about 4 hours.

Is financial assistance available?

Many homeowners may qualify for the federal Home Accessibility Tax Credit, Ontario's Seniors' Home Safety Tax Credit or Quebec programs. Ask our team during your free assessment.

Is there a warranty?

All Quick Tub® products carry a 3-year warranty, and we provide a 1-year warranty on all labour.

Which areas do you serve?

We install across the Greater Montreal Area, the rest of Quebec and throughout Ontario.
